Like it or not verbs are an important part of every language, they tell you what is happening.
A verb is a 'doing' word.
Verbs talk about actions. The verb is the heart of the sentence, without it the sentence would be just gobbledygook
Example : All the teachers dance to disco music in the staff room.
The verb is dance
Verb agreement.
When a verb and a noun go together they have to agree.
Example: Mrs Stroud has put Joël's stapler in some jelly.
'Has put' agrees with Mrs Stroud (3rd person singular). You can't write 'have put'
Past, present or future?
This is what we call verb tenses and they tell you when the action is happening.
Examples :
Mr Petit rode a horse. (past)
Mr Petit rides a horse. (present)
Mr Petit will ride a horse. (future)

| Yeehaa cowboy! |
